    Rather built by the Frieden brothers and licensed to Hyperion :-) There was even a declaratory action about this.

    ...and on WinUAE/FS-UAE emulating the same.

    iMac "all-in-ones" are not supported at all.

    Hyperion ported Freespace from Windows to AmigaOS, and they ported Shogo from Windows to Linux, MacOS and AmigaOS.

    Do you have some benchmark results for MorphOS vs. OS4 on Sam460? (You know, comparing them on Pegasos II is unfair towards OS4 because <put idiotic reason here>.)

    AmiKit is more like a pre-configured software package as it lacks the Amiga Kickstart ROM and OS. So it is advised to use AmiKit in conjunction with Amiga Forever, complementing each other.
